Methodological note

• Sample size: very small and non-representative
• Data collection: self-administered paper questionnaire
• Type of analysis: descriptive and exploratory

Results should therefore be interpreted as illustrative rather than inferential.

Language note

The quantitative outputs provided in the attached PDF are reported in Italian, as the original study was conducted in an Italian context and administered to Italian-speaking participants.

All variables, analytical dimensions, and interpretations are summarized and discussed in English in the main project section. The Italian-language outputs are included for transparency and methodological documentation.
